Ingredients

• 4 piece Persea americana Mill. ( ripe )
• 4 piece Sourdough bread ( thick slices )
• 2 tbsp Lime juice ( fresh )
• 2 tbsp Extra virgin olive oil ( drizzled )
• 1 piece Hot chili pepper optional ( finely sliced )
• 2 tsp Sesame seed optional ( for garnish )
• 2 pinch Fleur de sel ( for seasoning )
• 2 pinch Black pepper ground ( freshly ground )

Instructions

1. Prepare the avocado base

   Open the avocados, remove the pit, and scoop out the flesh. Coarsely mash with a fork in a bowl with lime juice and olive oil. The texture should remain rustic with some soft chunks.

2. Toast the bread

   Toast the sourdough slices in a toaster or under the broiler. The crumb should be crispy on the surface with lightly browned edges.

3. Season and assemble

   Generously spread the avocado on the warm bread. Scatter the finely sliced chili, sesame seeds, and finish with a pinch of sea salt and freshly ground pepper.

Chef's tips

• Never blend the avocado; mash it with a fork to keep some texture.
• Rub a garlic clove on the warm toasted bread for extra character.

Storage

Eat immediately. Avocado oxidizes and bread softens quickly.
